Wow, this year is moving fast! Now we have embraced March and 2014 is looking to be a good year, we are working on some really interesting projects. The month of March on our very lovely Pickle Design calendar showcases a chair by husband and wife team Charles and Ray Eames. The rather does-what-it-says-on-the-tin name it has, is Molded Plastic Dowel-Leg Chair. Despite having an ugly duckling name, this 1950s chair has become a design classic due its simple and beautiful design.

The designers never saw their furniture as finished, constantly updating when new materials and techniques came available. Charles and Ray Eames saw their legacy as “getting the most of the best to the greatest number of people for the least” - quite a mission statement! Their designs have stood the test of time and still look very contemporary in chic modern interiors.

New Branding for Cornish Fudge Company

This is a challenge we face with many projects, as the years spent building up a customer base are not to be taken lightly. We came up with a clean typographic solution which could be placed onto different colours to reflect different flavours on the packaging. This is accompanied by a small line drawing, reflecting the Cornish coastline. The vector image is key to the connection between old and new, a crisp modern style of illustration representing the long tradition of Cornish fishing ports where the Buttermilk shops are located.

Brand design has moved in new directions in recent years, and with the advent of mobile internet, promises to develop into ever new unexpected formats. Twitter has snowballed in recent months, and continuing our clients' visual identity here is also important. Above is the custom Twitter background that we created for Sean Maher's Twitter feed. It carries his brand for the charity bike ride, Riding Out The Recession, where he will be heading from Cornwall to Cape Town. It carries artwork from the website we are currently putting the finishing touches on, and his new logo. Make sure you keep an eye on his progress, we will put updates on our blogs and Sean will be both twittering and blogging as he travels.
